    Over 5 years developing this crap??!?! Are you kidding?! Only 4 car dealers/day, no career mode, no online racing or timetables, no option to buy tuning parts, change color or even buy new rims. Definitely THE most disappointing mobile sequel of all time

    I can't believe it took them this long to make the PSP version of GT. Nothing about it seems to work properly, the controls feel clunky. The races with three opponents are boring, and the variety of race modes is limited. If you need a GT fix, grab the PSX versions from the store. They may not be shiny and new, but at least they're fun.

    It feels like Wii Sports, with no carrear mode, a shallow presentation and being a pack-in game for some PSPs (i.e. mine). The driving also handles reaistically like in Grand Theift Auto, meaning steering is really slippery.

There is no slowdown, and assuming that all other GT games have realistic driving controles then it is functional, but if I'm pointing out that a game is functional as a pro, WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT THE REST OF THE GAME?! I know the cars you drive are real cars (which there are quite a lot of), but I still think it could have been done better. My dislike could also be because I don't have too many racing games, but I liked Burnout Paradice, regardless of how I crashed every five meters or so. Why can't the racing be as intense as that? Again because it's realistic? I suppose this would suite you if you're into that sort of thing. BTW the music sucks.… Expand

    Admittedly, I’m not used to the standard GT games, so I’m gonna judge this for it’s own merits.
    It’s trash alright? It goes in constant slow-motion and is boring as **** with nothing entertaining at all.
    The graphics are grey, the levels are grey and the level design is beyond lazy.
    A stale and painful experience for depressed people.

    Gran Turismo for the PlayStation Portable is a faithful reproduction of the original PSX game that achieved so much success in the 90's. Although missing online functionality, it's still the best racer you'll find for the platform.

    Great looks, impressive handling, good tracks and cars. But where's the career mode? [Dec 2009, p.64]

    Gran Turismo PSP is Polyphony's Pokémon and, as such, one that's more for the Jay Lenos amongst us rather than the James Hunts.
